STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: AUTHORIZE THE CITY SURVEYOR TO ATTEND THE
CALIFORNIA LAND SURVEYORS ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE
IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, FROM MARCH 6 TO MARCH 9, 2011
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: December 9, 2010
CONTENTS: Conference Brochure and Registration
GSA Per Diem Rates for Nevada
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, authorize the City Surveyor to attend the California
Land Surveyors Association (CLSA) conference in Las Vegas, Nevada,
from March 6 to March 9, 2011.
Funds are available in Account No. 110-4300-413-3120, Public Works
Conference/Seminars/Workshops account.
Backqround
It is necessary for the City Surveyor to stay abreast of current laws and advances in
technology that pertains to land surveying. The most efficient and cost effective way to
achieve this continuing education is to attend the annual CLSA conference. At the
conference, comprehensive training is offered on many aspects of the land surveying
field, including land development and mapping. The alternative to attending this
conference would be to attend several one- or two-day seminars in California, which
would be piecemeal, random, and would almost certainly be more costly in the
aggregate. The four-day conference fee for the 2011 CLSA conference is $365; with
approximately $950 for transportation and travel related expenses based on the U.S.
General Services Administration Domestic Per Diem Rates for Las Vegas, Nevada.
The estimated total cost is $1,315.

Authorize Out-of-State Travel for City Surveyor

Fiscal Analysis
The benefits of authorizing this out-of-state travel for the City Surveyor outweigh the cost
of providing the necessary continuing education in-state.
